Is there a simple way to insert a note before the first note of a flow? My actual workaround is tedios and stupid and assume there is some much more simple and elegant way to do this…

I don’t use Insert mode much but it could be as simple as turning Insert mode on and then entering a crotchet at the first beat.
The following music should all be pushed forward one beat etc. Someone with more knowledge may give you a better solution.
The problem is that, it comes only AFTER the selected note. What I wanted is BEFORE it…
Could you be a bit more specific about what you want to achieve? E.g. do you want to add a pickup bar, or do you want your existing music to shift?
You can insert a note before the first note of your flow by selecting the first existing note (or rest), start Note input, activate Insert mode and input your desired note:
If you want to insert a pickup bar, have a look at this part of the manual:
or is this note a grace note?
If it works as your demo shows, everything is sloved, will check when I get to my laptop.
The reason I’m searching it is quite weird. I transcribed loads of church songs with non consequitive verse numbers and was struggling with the first syllable what consisted of the verse number AND the first real syllable.
I got a good advice here to add a fake note before, reducing to invisible and adding the verse number as a lyrics to this invisible ‘note before the first real note’. It works really well, but to do this I need to insert a note to all my existing flows. This is what I’m struggling at the moment…
(Hope I wad clear enough for beeing understandable…)
It seems to be possible, but may need some cleaning up w/ Forced Duration. This proof-of-concept is done with a 4/4,5 meter and an initial quarter note suppressed and with stem and notehead hidden.
Yes!!! I made it! Sorry for bothering you…
No bother.
Adding up all heard I made grace note of the one before the first note, what ideal:)
[select the first note] Shift B
1q
(or any other value) enter
I made followings:
